vCenter Server databases.
NOTE If the installation fails due to some reason, the uninstaller is automatically invoked and all the
components installed till the failure occurred is removed.
When you install vCenter Chargeback Manager, you can choose to install the load balancer, vCenter
Chargeback Manager server, and data collectors on the same or different machines. If you choose to install
the load balancer and the vCenter Chargeback Manager server on different machines, then you must first
install the load balancer and then the vCenter Chargeback Manager server. You can first install the load
balancer on the DMZ network and then install vCenter Chargeback Manager and the data collectors in the
internal network. The vCenter Chargeback Manager database also resides on the internal network.
When you install the load balancer, the relevant data is stored in the vCenter Chargeback Manager database.
When you run the installer on a different machine and provide the same database details, the installer
provides you with an option to connect to the existing load balancer or install a new load balancer.
